About Us
Atlantic Music Center
We at Atlantic Music are extremely proud of the pianos we
import and distribute. In addition, our experienced professional technical staff provide concert level preparation, as well as rebuilt pianos meeting the highest standard.
Atlantic Music specializes in the import and distribution of hand-crafted, limited edition, new and pre-owned premium pianos from Europe's most renowned manufacturers. They include Steingraeber, Feurich, Pleyel, Blüthner, Bechstein, Bösendorfer, Steinway, Grotrian, and others. These pianos are the highest class of pianos and are among the finest pianos made in the world. They are also the oldest, most well respected piano manufacturers in the world, many of which were established in the early 1800's.
The magnificent quality with which these hand-crafted instruments
are manufactured in terms of both materials and workmanship
set them in a class of their own and distinguish them from the
mass-produced "production" pianos made by today's larger factories.
Europe is the birthplace of the piano which celebrated it's
300th anniversary of invention in 2000 and these venerable piano
companies pioneered the piano's invention and development.
These were the pianos of the immortals! ...the great classical
composers and piano virtuosos personally endorsed, owned and
performed on the pianos of Feurich, Steingraeber, Blüthner, Bechstein,
Bösendorfer, Steinway... and these companies are bestowed with
a pride, heritage, and tradition not often found in today's
corporate world.
European pianos are manufactured with the old-world tradition
of employing the finest quality hand-craftsmanship and building
with the finest woods, felts, and other materials available.
This combination of impeccable quality in design, materials
and craftsmanship result in superior instruments possessing
a beautiful, lush, rich tone producing pianos capable of conveying
the deepest emotions and gratifying the performer with unmatched performance.
We also consider ourselves extremely fortunate to be the exclusive
U.S. importer and distributor for some of the finest hand-crafted
piano manufactures in Germany and Europe. These new instruments
are the finest you will find on the market today and are available
in a wide selection of sizes, styles and incredible finishes
both traditional and contemporary.
